Having completed an eight-inning 11-10 walk-off, winner’s bracket victory over South Wall in the Section III Little League Tournament on Tuesday night, Nottingham finds itself in position to sweep a second championship in as many weeks.

Despite dominating in its first matchup on Sunday, Nottingham — as it had in the District 12 final against HTRBA — was forced to play comeback all night before three eighth-inning singles and two runs Nottingham its seventh straight victory and a spot in the Section III final.

“I can’t say enough about these kids,” said Nottingham manager Dan Piscopo. “(Jake) Muller was sensational all around and we couldn’t have done it without him. But every kid on this roster fought and did something worth praising. We just fought tonight. We get to play on Friday and that’s more than a lot of teams can say.”

In the top of the first inning, Muller was given a taste of his own medicine when South Wall’s Dylan Richey punched a home run out into right field. South Wall’s Doug Wetzel sent Muller’s second-inning first pitch just 195 feet to clear the left field wall to put his team up 2-1.

Muller and his defense were plagued by errors early on. In the top of the second inning, a grounder to the second baseman jumped over the head of Ryan Schwager before Muller allowed a passed ball, scoring South Wall’s third run of the contest.

A team that thrives in early innings, Nottingham looked like anything but against South Wall pitcher Tanner Peoples, forced to play small ball through its first four innings.

Nottingham earned its first runs of the night off of a leadoff walk and two South Wall errors. Two dropped balls later, Nottingham found itself in a familiar position — with the bases loaded and a single out. But this time, the offense watched fastballs fly past them rather than over the fence, as its next two batters were struck out swinging.

In the second, a fly ball from Danny Melnick found grass over the left fielder’s head, pulling Nottingham within one run headed into the third inning.

For Nottingham — the home team an hour away from home — a dormant offense came alive once its pitcher did. A quick 1-2-3 third inning for Muller was followed by a lightning-fast fourth inning in which the ace struck out the side to bring his team back to the plate — who threw 67 pitches through four frames.

Muller finished his night on the mound after four complete innings and was replaced by closer in Mario Mazur.

“It was crazy,” Muller said. “I’m just proud of our team for never giving up.”

In the bottom of inning, Nottingham paired two-straight hits before none other than Muller drilled a three-run home run into dead center, giving his team its first lead of the night. His blast was followed by a roundtripper from Melnick — putting Nottingham up 6-3 — before South Hall made its first pitching change.

With Peoples out of the game, it was business as usual for a contagious Nottingham offense as it pushed across its fifth run of the frame,

But for Mazur, Nottingham’s most reliable arm in the District 12 tournament, it was nightmare in the fifth inning. The righthander allowed four walks and before surrendering the lead to South Wall.

Mazur exited the game with the bases loaded and his team down 9-7.

With two outs in the bottom of the fifth, it was Gabe Stantin’s turn to play hero for Nottingham as he hit a two-run home run to tie the game at nine.

In the top of the sixth, a swift tag at second base and a nifty scoop from Schwager prevented South Wall’s go-ahead run from crossing home plate with one out.

Seven nail-biting innings and one crack of the bat from South Wall should have knocked the wind out of Nottingham’s sails. Instead, the offense — started once again by Muller — came back in the bottom of the eighth inning will the bases loaded and a single out.

With the walk-off, Nottingham is set to face the winner of the loser’s bracket final on Friday where it will need to win a single game to earn a District III championship.
